with any car you look at, take out the owner's manual, and check for the ability to TOW behind another vehicle, 4 wheels down. The manual is your only source - don't rely on the dealer, the salesman, or any of us to make that determination.
Many fine vehicles are towable 4-down, and many that you might think 'should' be, aren't, whether manual or automatic transmission - especially AWD vehicles.
Today's question is not whether it's automatic or manual, but whether the transmission itself is 'towable' without a negative impact to the transmission itself.
Some vehicles are towable 4-down, but ONLY for emergency situations, and not over '35' miles per hour, or such.
Many are towable 4-down in most any situation, such as behind a motorhome, but must not exceed '65' miles per hour, or such, and must be cranked and ran for 15 or so minutes every 100 miles, or such.
Some are very towable and require nothing...
do you homework with the car you are interested in, and enjoy the Motorhome magazine's 'Dinghey' edition for your make,year, and model for more info.
